FreedomPop Intros $19 iPhone Plan

FreedomPop today announced a new calling plan that targets owners of the Apple iPhone. Owners of the iPhone 6 or 6s who activate their phone with FreeomPop will receive 500MB of data, 500 texts, and 500 voice minutes each month for free. As a bonus for signing up, new iPhone customers will also receive 5GB of free data to get started. iPhone customers may choose to upgrade to the new $19 service plan that improves the offering to unlimited talk and text and 1GB of data. FreedomPop is offering new iPhone plan customers the first month for free. The company plans to sell the Apple iPhone 6s in October through its own financing plan. In addition to the iPhone-only plan, FreedomPop also announced an expansion to the U.K. FreedomPop U.K. users will get 200 minutes, 200 texts, and 200MB of data free for as long as they remain customers. Last, FreedomPop will award users in the U.S. and the U.K. with unlimited data if they take surveys, download coupons, or engage in other such activities. FreedomPop is an MVNO that resells access to Sprint's network (in the U.S.), though its calling and texting services also function over WiFi.
